Bruce Willis experimented with drugs in his youth.

The 'Die Hard 4.0' star has confessed he enjoyed an "irresponsible" existence in the 70s when he was a stage actor in New York.

Bruce said: "Living in Manhattan was the most irresponsible, carefree time of my life. I had a great time going wild. I drank too much. I also smoked weed and tried various drugs.

"I only liked pot, though. I smoked a lot of pot and when I wasn't acting, I was out dancing every night. I had a blast and I could stretch $20 over three days - I would live off pizza and beer."

The 52-year-old actor - who has three daughters with ex-wife Demi Moore, Rumer, 18, Scout, 15, and Tallulah, 12 - insists he, Demi and her new husband Ashton Kutcher work together to educate the girls about drugs.

Bruce explained: "Demi, Ashton and I all work together to teach our kids what drugs are about, what drinking and driving means and all the perils of the world.

"But my kids get it. They talk to me about everything. They tell me what drugs the kids in school are taking and what's available."
